Step 3: Apply more cotton and test the LEDs

Step 4: Stuff the LEDs in the cloud

Since the paper lamps have holes in the top and bottom it's easy to reach in there and stick the LED strips on the inside wall. But I didn't trust them self-adhesive LED strips so I locked a few in place with zip ties.

The power supply for the LEDs is hanging in the middle for maximum heat diserpation. Remember those lamps used to harbor 60W lightbulbs so they can handle much more heat than the LEDs and PSU can produce.

Also the LEDs came with a remote control and I just put the IR reader through the bottom so I can control the light from my bed.

Step 5: Hang it somewhere

It's not quite finished yet because I need to hang the far side of the cloud but couldn't attach it yet to the ceiling. But I think the cloud looks awesome because it's so big. The fact that that little string sticks out of the cloud is just a minor aesthetic problem.

The only thing left to do is putting a Raspberry Pi in there and tell everyone that I have a cloud computer.
